O Shankar mere kab honge darshan tere

When one looks at the songs picturised on Dilip Kumar, one finds that Dilip Kumar, for much of his career had lip synced mainly in the voices of Talat Mehmood, Mukesh and Rafi. In addition, he had also sung in the voices of G M Durrani and C Ramchandra. Then he had sung for himself as well in a few songs.
He had not lipsynced in the voices of other major singers till 1970s.

It was in 1970s that Dilip Kumar lip synced in Kishore Kumar’s voice for the first time. The movie was “Sagina” (1974). It was in 1970s that Dilip Kumar first lip synced in Mahendra Kapoor’s voice too. That was in “Gopi”(1970), and later Mahendra Kapoor would sing a few more songs for Dilip Kumar in the future.

Here is a bhajan from “Bairaag” (1976). It is sung by Mahendra Kapoor and chorus. This song is picturised on Dilip Kumar and others, so this song is one of those rare instances where Mahendra Kapoor’s voice is used for Dilip Kumar.

Strange are the ways, two of Kishore kumar`s wives featuring as 2 heroines of Dilip kumar, with Leena Chandavarkar( Dilip sings “Saare shehar mein aapka koi nahin…… and Peete peete kabhi kabhi yun jaam” )
and another Dilip kumar acts with his real life partner Saira bano(singing Chotisi umar mein hai lag gayaa rog and Main bairaagi naachoon gaaoon) and for additional female roles, Helen also features in one or two scenes with Dilip saab.
